Gently rolling prairie terrain with rich, deep soils created by glacial deposits dominates the landscape. The Cedar River flows through the southeastern portion, creating some of the most fertile bottomland in the region.
Highly productive corn and soybean operations benefit from some of Iowa's best soils, with yields consistently above state averages. Integrated crop-livestock systems remain common, with many farms feeding corn to cattle or hogs raised on-site.
